Spotlight

The movie Spotlight (2015) is dramatic film that shows a new perspective of journalism. This movie is an amazing movie. It tells the story of how 80 boys were allegedly molested by priests of Catholic Churches and how 4 journalists work to uncover the truth. It truly shows the work and skills that journalists have. Throughout the movie we follow Robinson, Mike, Sacha and Matt as they bind together to hear the boys side of the stories and bring justice to them.

While watching this movie, I learned and saw many thing I wasn't aware of that happened in journalism. In the article The 10 best journalism movies by Washington Post, it wrote that Spotlight "encompasses the frustrations and sense of mission that consume reporters and editors as well as journalists."

Journalism is not an easy field. In the movie, when they were pursuing to find out how the church and the people within the church were protecting the priest, I saw the many challenges they faced. Having to start from small clues and work they're way to gain a case with strong evidence.
